I have never used this route to get women up until a couple of days ago where I started chatting on PoF and managed to get two phone numbers and subsequently arrange two dates. I say girls but one is 32 and the other, more attractive hotter 37 yr old who hasnt been on a date for two years since her divorce - she said she chose to.

I am actually concerned because im not sure how to ignore the initial awkwardness of whether she finds me attractive or not or whether she is seeing me as she had expected to - in terms of looks that is. How do you ignore that potential problem and awkwardness?

Is there a specific game plan that should be followed? How would I go about ignoring any awkwardness and has anyone got any advice that they could give me to close that gap between online dating and actually act like we met initially in person?

Thanks

John

I haven't been in an actual dating thing but i met a girl through facebook. When we first met up, it was a bit awkward but if you want to get past that initial awkwardness, just be fun and playful, It breaks any tension.

As for the looks, remember looks do matter but not very. Just look your best, be your best self and remember: It is only as big a deal as you make it.
So if you think/make seeing each other for the first time and how you think each other look compared to in real life is a big deal, it will be a big deal.

Easier said than done. I can be in my head at times and always wonder whether she wants to be there and whether she is being polite etc etc etc

I guess gaming her would be the same as any other girl - so its the initial interaction I suppose.

I see man, just remember YOU are the shit! Who got the dates and numbers? You did! Also remember if you don't know why she should be with you, how the fuck will she know? Don't keep thinking about how she is, think about how you are. If you're having fun, odds are she is too. Keep things exciting and cool, don't worry about your looks cause i've out-gamed great looking guys so i know they're not that big a deal.

You're thinking too much, she's just another girl and you're putting too much pressure on you. If you don't get rid of it, you might get nervous and lose the set due to your own mindset. It's like getting all worked up about a test and revising for it all night, having the knowledge and when the day comes because you think you'll do bad and are all nervous, you actually do bad even though you had all the knowledge.
I wish you luck man, peace!
